| WHY BE A STRIDER? |
 The Tidewater Striders is one of the largest running clubs in the United States. The Tidewater Striders promotes fitness-related activities including running, walking and multi-sport events. All levels of ability are welcomed.
Membership in the Tidewater Striders includes:
The Tidewater Striders is a club for everyone - not just the elite runners. There is a place for people of all levels of fitness from the social fitness walker to the most competitive racer, as well as multi-sport participants.
The current membership is approximately 1700 individuals. Our members are not only people in the Tidewater area; we also have members that have moved throughout the US. |

| Socials, parties and FUN! |
| Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) memberships for all Striders. |
| Subscription to the monthly newsletter, The RUNDOWN, which, includes local and regional race schedules, race entry forms for upcoming races and events, complete race results, and informative articles on nutrition, cross training and fitness and health. The RUNDOWN was the winner of the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) Best Publication for 1998. |
| Discounts at participating area businesses. |
| FREE Summer Series races. The Summer Series
is a group of three runs that promote fun and camaraderie within the
running/walking community. |
| Weekend long runs. There is always a group meeting on Saturday and Sunday morning for the weekly long runs. This is a great way to train for that upcoming marathon and not think about how far you've run. These group runs are at different levels and different distances. And everyone is welcome. (There is a rumor that some of these groups will head to breakfast afterwards to replenish the energy resources.) |
The annual dues are only $15, which will pay for
itself when using your club discount at local business.

We offer camperships to youth members to financially assist their attending cross country or running camps over the summer.
